SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – A woman returned to her north Sacramento home on Saturday to quite a surprise – two burglary suspects climbing out of her kitchen window.

But rather then immediately survey what was missing from the home, Sandra Guzman chased after them. She also called neighbors and police to join in the pursuit.

“I was enraged,” Guzman said. “I never felt that much anger. So I immediately lunged at them and began chasing them.”

She said they violated her home, stealing her jewelry and even rummaging through her dirty laundry.

“They took my socks out of my dirty laundry, ha, ha.”

The suspects apparently squeezed through an unlocked fence and found opportunity.

“I left my window open,” she said.

They escaped by hopping the backyard fence, but neighbors updated Guzman and police as they noticed the suspects hopping fences and running down nearby streets.

Eventually, Guzman said, the suspects were trapped in a cul-de-sac not far from her house on Taylor Street.

“We can’t believe it happened,” she said. “We can’t believe they got caught.”

Police aren’t releasing the names of the suspects, who may be involved in other burglaries, citing the ongoing investigation.

    Good Job Sandra !! Thanks for getting crooks off the street!

  • us and them

    Good job sandra and the neighborhood ,,all came together to get the crooks. We need more of coming together to fight back and battle the uprise in crime. Their are a lot of neighborhoods that do nothing, and when you do nothing the crimes just increase in that neighborhood.

    It’s nice to see that people got involved & the thieves were caught.

    As long as there are police cutbacks & no jobs this is going to be common here in Sacramento.

    Remember to always lock up your place before you leave.

    Criminals are looking for opportunity…..

    put these guys on notice, our neighborhoods are not putting up with this anymore and they will be stopped. but lock gates and windows before you leave and make it harder on them to get in

    In what exact area did this take place. Is this like North Sac area by Hillsdale and Frizzle?
